[QUOTE="harper, post: 1417613, member: 88451"] You could always ride in a car and listen to music. Or listen to it in your living room The trade offs aren't so great there. But on a motorcycle there are trade offs. I have some comfortable Skull Candy ear buds ($10) that produce great sound...until I'm moving along at 50 mph. I have the volume turned all the way up for those and at 60 or 70 mph the sound quality suddenly drops abruptly because there is no sound...just wind. I just bought a pair of Elgin Ruckus Earplug Earbuds ($20).

I can turn the volume down two steps and still hear music at 70 mph. Suddenly, poor quality audio is really good quality just because there [I]is[/I] some audio. They have to be wetted and seated perfectly to do this but once seated they stay there with no irritation. I can see how they wouldn't work for others or even for one ear for some people. They have to seal to work. And they have to be removed carefully because of it. I haven't changed altitude with them and that could be problematic. [/QUOTE]
